When the first Nabataeans explored the Edomite Mountains sometime in the 5th or 4th century BC they must've been impressed by the landscape, the wilderness and the fertility of this region at the slope between the Edomite plateau and the Araba. There they sensed a Mighty God as Lord of this region just as the Hebrews did (Deuteronomy 33:2 "The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir" Judges 5:4 "When you, LORD, went out from Seir, when you marched from the land of Edom, the earth shook, the heavens poured, the clouds poured down water") and just as the Edomites did. They came to know Him as Dushara. Dhūal-Sharā(t) means “the One of the Sharāt (Seir) mountain range.” The Arabic dhū/dhā/dhī element confirms their North Arabian origin.
